Chapter 212 Leaving

Liu Yinyin said shyly: "Mom and Dad, it's too early for you to be sad. I haven't left yet."

She couldn't leave for a while, and the old couple said it was too early.

Jiang Cuihua said angrily: "...It's the same now."

My son-in-law is leaving tomorrow, and it's not certain when he will come back next time. There are some things that I should say while my son-in-law is here.

After lunch, Gu Cheng decided to take Liu Yinyin and her son to the county town to take some photos for the family of three.

Gu Yanyan doesn’t know yet that his father is leaving tomorrow, and the little guy is very excited at the moment.

I just had a delicious meal.

Now he is going to the county town to play again. He is grinning and looks so happy.

After arriving in the county town, the family of three went directly to the photo studio.

There were not many people taking pictures at this time, and the photographer was so idle that he was dozing off on the table.

Hearing the movement at the door, he suddenly opened his eyes and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. The photographer asked with a smile: "Comrades, are you here to take pictures?"

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Why did they come in if not to take pictures?

Perhaps realizing that he had asked a stupid question, the photographer laughed and led them to the back room to take pictures.

A total of three photos were taken, one photo of the family of three, one photo of the couple, and one photo of Gu Yanyan alone.

Taking a photo at this time is quite expensive.

Also, developing photos isn't that fast.

The photographer said, "It will take at least ten days for the photos to be developed. You'd better come a few days later to pick them up, otherwise it will be a wasted trip."

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said to Gu Cheng, "I'll come back to pick it up and then I'll send it to you."

These photos were mainly taken for Gu Cheng to bring to the troops. The weather was bad during this period, otherwise they would have come to the county town earlier.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Okay."

After leaving the photo studio, the family of three went to the department store again. This time, Liu Yinyin didn't hold them back.

Gu Cheng bought a lot of food for Gu Yanyan, including two bags of White Rabbit milk candy.

I also bought a candied haws for the kid.

Gu Yanyan was so happy that he licked the candied haws all the way back.

The next day, the couple got up early in the morning because Gu Cheng had a 10 a.m. train.

The things were packed last night, two large bags.

Liu Yinyin originally wanted to send it to him, but it would be inconvenient to take a bus with so much luggage.

However, Gu Cheng refused, saying that he could handle it all by himself and could carry any amount of luggage.

Liu Yinyin just ignored him.

After breakfast, I was busy making some dry food for him to take on the road.

The journey is long and it takes five or six days by train to get there.

The weather is cold now, so you can bring more food for the trip.

After a busy morning, Liu Yinyin packed him a lunch box full of braised pork, a box of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a can of spicy dried fish.

The dried fish was something she smuggled out of the system a few months ago. She dried it and stored it. When she wanted to eat it, she would add some chili and stir-fry it. It was delicious and went well with rice.

There was only a little bit left, and Liu Yinyin was taken away by Gu Cheng.

There was also a bag of steamed buns made of white flour and corn flour, and a bag of salt-baked eggs.

It would be difficult to carry more, so after eating these, I can only buy more on the train.

Liu Yinyin said, "I've put the money and notes in your pocket. Don't forget to use them."

There were a lot of people on the train, a mixed crowd, and I heard that some people even stole money.

Although Gu Cheng was a soldier with good skills, Liu Yinyin divided the money into several different places for him to put in order to be on the safe side.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Call me if you have anything."

The commune and the post office can both make phone calls and send telegrams. He has taught Liu Yinyin how to do this.

Liu Yinyin's mouth twitched: "I remember."

It is true that she has never used a telephone in her life, but after all, she came from the afterlife, so this thing is not a problem for her.

Pack up your things, it's almost time.

In addition to Liu Yinyin, someone from the Liu family also came.

Big Brother Liu and Third Brother Liu went together to see someone off. There was snow on the road, so it was difficult to pull a cart, so they could only set out with their luggage on their backs.

The weather was not very cold today, so Liu Yinyin carried Gu Yanyan in her arms and asked the little guy to go and see his father off.

The boy is young and doesn't understand what separation sadness is.

Along the way, he was quite happy, hugging Gu Cheng's neck and chattering.

The boy's speech was not clear yet, so he spoke incoherently, but Gu Cheng listened to him patiently and answered him patiently.

When they arrived at the train station, the brothers and sisters sent Gu Cheng onto the train.

When it was time to say goodbye, Liu Yinyin felt a little reluctant: "...Be careful on the road."

Gu Cheng said softly, "I'll send you a telegram when I get there...wait for my news, I'll come back as soon as possible to pick you and Yanyan up."

Liu Yinyin nodded: "We'll wait for you."

Gu Cheng turned around and said to the two Liu brothers, "Please take care of Yinyin and Yanyan."

It was his fault for leaving his wife and son at home, so he could only ask the Liu family to help him more.

Liu Mingyuan scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "Don't worry."

They are biological brothers, so it is their duty to take care of Liu Yinyin.

Finally, Gu Cheng held his son for a while, his eyes slightly warmed...

Gu Yanyan was quite interested in the train at first. He looked left and right, staring with his big black eyes full of curiosity.

They saw the train slowly moving away, and Gu Cheng was on the train, getting farther and farther away from them.

Gu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Dad..."

He glanced at Liu Yinyin with a confused look on his face, not understanding why his father had followed the train.

Liu Yinyin explained: "Dad went to work."

Gu Yanyan said “Oh”, and when he heard the word “going to work”, he knew. He understood that his father went to work every day, leaving in the morning and coming back in the evening.

Looking at the little guy's confused expression, Liu Yinyin regretted bringing him here.

On the way back, Gu Yanyan looked a little listless. He leaned on Liu Mingyuan's shoulder, looking depressed.

When she came back, Jiang Cuihua was waiting for her at home. Gu Cheng had looked for her earlier and asked her to take care of Liu Yinyin and her son.

In fact, Jiang Cuihua would have done the same even without him asking, because she was her own daughter, not someone else.

Seeing Liu Yinyin carrying Gu Yanyan back, Jiang Cuihua felt a little disappointed: "Gu Cheng is gone?"

Liu Yinyin hummed: "Mom, you can go back. I'm fine."

Jiang Cuihua sighed and said, "Come to me if you have any problems."

Liu Yinyin nodded. Actually, there was nothing to do at home. She didn't need to go to work. She could handle the housework easily.

Gu Yanyan is older now and easier to take care of than when he was a child.

It's just that there's suddenly one less person at home, and I'm still not used to it.

It might be a spiritual connection. After Gu Yanyan finished his nap, he rubbed his eyes and asked Liu Yinyin, "Where's Dad?"
